First of all, there are no comrades detained. We clarified this already when yesterday’s information alerted everyone, but we now have definite confirmation that no comrades were arrested.

We are using this message to inform everybody that the raids and seizures continue in Porto Alegre and in its metropolitan area. The fact that these raids are not publicized as the previous ones were has meant we have not been as well informed this time. There are comrades who have better access to information which makes it easier for them to share the news, which helps a lot. Even so, it is important, and this is some self-criticism, not to get caught up in the instantaneous tempo of social media, as this can sometimes cause a wave of panic. Especially in times where there are compas who haven’t yet faced raids / repressions and when we still don’t know the magnitude of the State’s counterattack.

We also want to point out that this latest raid has its own peculiarities, but, as anarchists, we do not have to have (and hopefully will not have) arrested / detained comrades to continue to manifest our expressions of solidarity.
